Title: Theater View File Caption question
Post by: Osho on June 07, 2007, 10:51:10 pm

Hi Everyone,

I know we can assign the aption for a File in theater view by an option in theater view. I would like this option to show the following

[Name] when the track that this album belongs to is not a (Multiple Artists) album.
[Name] - [Artist] when the track that this album belongs to is a (Multiple Artists) album.

Do you know how can I achieve this? It would be even nice if I could right justify the [Artist] in the [Name] - [Artist] case. This will give more information for (Multiple Artists) albums.

thanks,
Osho

one thing you could do is make a user library field, call it: TV Name

make that library field calculated and put this in the template:
if(IsEqual(AlbumArtist(),[Artist],1),[Name],[Name] - [artist])

now change the file caption in theaterview >options>advanced to [TV Name]

there is much more possible: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=38357.0

you could just enter the expression directly into the caption field in theatre views options like so:

if(isequal([album artist (auto)],multiple,8),[name] - [artist],[name])
